I love to hunt wild pigs and have had my fair share of low growls while walking out of the woods after dark. I have been known to carry a 4 D Mag light and I still have a problem seeing them. However, that light really does help discourage them.

All that being said, I carry my SBH in 44mag with a 4 5/8ths barrel.

I have thought about not carrying it when I am hunting with my SRH in 44 or 480, but they are both scoped. When I am going to need an “oh crap” for backup I want an iron sighted great handling backup.
